Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Otterlifter-1

Elsie was Cherokee.

Elsie was born in the Cherokee Nation in 1818, the daughter of Susannah Harlan and her husband, Otterlifter. [1]

Elsie married first Charles Hoskins about 1837. They were the parents of two children, Annie and Julia. Charles was killed in battle in the Mexican War.

Her second husband was Daniel McIntosh, a Muskogee (Creek) Indian. [2] They were married about 1848 and were the parents of two daughters, Orsinoe and Susannah. They separated about 1851. [3]

Elsie (listed as Alsey Horskin) and her children appear on the Drennan Roll, Illinois District, p.347, Family #286. Image at Drennan Elsie's death date is unknown.

Research Note

According to David Hampton, although Emmet Starr listed Susannah Harlan as the grand-daughter of Nan-ye-hi "Nancy" Ward Cherokee-59 , an 1817 claim for Revolutionary War damages by the descendants of Ellis Harlan makes it clear that Susannah was the daughter of Ellis Harlan but not by Nancy's daughter Ka-ti.
